1932 Ford is the epitome of "hotrod," and we have had more than a
few through our shop here at MotoeXotica Classic Cars but none
quite like this '32 Deluxe Phaeton Hotrod.�Built by Matt Reynolds
of Cincy Street Rods in 2005 and used as Jim Busby's & Dick Munz's
Bonneville Speed Week chase car! Matt Reynolds of Cincy Street Rods
in Cincinnati, Ohio originally built this hotrod for his personal
use. Reynolds drove it from Cincinnati to Bonneville Speed Week in
2005, 2006, and 2008. On his last trip he sold to Jim Busby and
Dick Munz's for their Bonneville Speed Week chase car for their
record holding '32 Ford which went 207mph! Munz then added it to
his large RVM Classics Collection in Madison, Wisconsin. The
Westcott Fiberglass body is finished in a workaday matte brown, the
car's paint and minimal trim are in overall very good order and
have stayed true to Reynolds original design. The movable
windshield is in good shape while the car's lights are in very good
order. The headlamps, within elongated, bullet-like housings
flanking the hood, are attractive. Overall the car's bodywork is
solid and straight. It sits on a original '32 Ford frame that has
been fully boxed and a American Stamping x-member and Model A front
crossmember. It was then dropped 4-inches by a Chassis Engineering
I-Beam axle with reversed-eye Posies transverse leaf springs. The
car has no roof or side window glass and the passenger-side rear
bumper guard is missing but there is a snap-on rear tonneau cover
for the space behind the driver and passenger. This car rolls on
16-inch Ford steel wheel with spun aluminum racing discs surrounded
by Excelsior bias-ply tires, 5.00-5.25-16 in front, and Firestone
bias-play tires, 7.50-16 in rear. Under that vee'd nose is a crate
GM 350 CID V-8 with a Edelbrock 650cfm four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, golden Oldsmobile Rocket
"shorted to Mobile Rocket" valve covers and a 1937 Ford truck
hubcap air cleaner housing. Buttoned to that is a Turbo Hydramatic
350 three-speed automatic transmission and a Ford nine-inch rear
differential. Both front and rear axles have Speedway Hollow
anti-roll bars. Stopping this Ford are hydraulic drum brakes from a
'40 Ford. Inside, the car has 1959 Corvette steering, a vintage
"Bell" steering wheel but the horn is inoperable. The firewall and
instrument panel, with its full array of vintage gauges and only
two modern style hidden gauges that were need to run at Bonneville.
Many famous hotrodders autographed the dashboard and firewall
including: Hot Rod Hall of Fame member Tex Smith and Pete
Chapouris�to name a few, it is also peppered with stickers denoting
various races the car competed in. The fabric-covered bench seat is
in satisfactory order, while the aforementioned steering wheel
looks good. This car was featured in the center spread of issue
nine of Hop-Up Magazine, Hemmings Motor News, and�Car Crazy with
Barry Meguire. If you'd like to own an A-bucket with a lot of
